    Forgery, a serious universal problem, is causing huge economic losses every year. Against forgery, information-encoded labelling systems have attracted significant attention for a diverse range of anti-counterfeiting applications. Here, cost-effective and ultra-durable nanocrystal-based labels are proposed and demonstrated in which information can be encoded as physically unclonable functions (PUFs) of hardware-oriented security systems. The fabrication method of the PUFs is based on the self-assembly of colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) and generation of unclonable features within their pattern at a liquid-liquid interface. These CQW PUFs are analyzed with well-known statistical tests, which show a uniqueness level of 0.5060 +/- 0.0323 and prove their randomness. In addition, a feature-matching algorithm is used to authenticate these information-encoded CQW PUFs. For the safety of the semiconductor chips, a CQW PUF is attached to the surface of the chip to protect against hardware cyber-attacks. Eventually, fabricated labels are examined against high temperatures and moisture environments. The fabricated CQW label is durable for a period of 150 days it is tested, demonstrating ultra-high stability of the label. High stability and durability, cost-effectiveness, and high encoding capacity make these proposed nanocrystal labels extremely attractive for large-scale commercialization.

    Structurally Colored Physically Unclonable Functions With Ultra-Rich and Stable Encoding Capacity
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025) Esidir, Abidin; Ren, Miaoning; Pekdemir, Sami; Kalay, Mustafa; Kayaci, Nilgun; Gunaltay, Nail; Onses, Mustafa Serdar
    Identity security and counterfeiting assume a critical importance in the digitized world. An effective approach to addressing these issues is the use of physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The overarching challenge is a simultaneous combination of extremely high encoding capacity, stable operation, practical fabrication, and a widely available readout mechanism. Herein this challenge is addressed by designing an optical PUF via exploiting the thickness-dependent structural color formation in nanoscopic films of ZnO. The structural coloration ensures authentication using widely available bright-field-based optical readout, whereas the metal oxide provides a high degree of structural stability. True physical randomness in spatial position is achieved by physical vapor deposition of ZnO through stencil masks that are fabricated by pore formation in polycarbonate membranes via photothermal processing of stochastically positioned plasmonic nanoparticles. Structural coloration emerges from thin film interference as confirmed via simulation studies. The rich color variation and stochastic definition of domain size and geometry result in chaotic features with an encoding capacity that approaches (6.4 x 105)(2752x2208). Deep learning-based authentication is further demonstrated by transforming these chaotic features into unbreakable codes without field limitations. This ultra-rich encoding capacity, coupled with outstanding thermal and chemical stability, forms a new cutting edge for state-of-the-art PUF-based encoding systems.
